So, this game looks like ridiculous fun. Solve puzzles by creating things out of thin air from a 10,000 word vocabulary. And it goes beyond "ladder" and "chair": Here's a vid of Stegosaurus vs. Kraken vs. God vs. Einstein!!

I heard about this game, but was skeptical because this is the sort of 'dream game' that everybody makes up when they're young. It's amazing that it actually works as advertised. Kinda disapointed that Obama isn't in it though.

Preorder Scribblenauts from Gamestop/EBGames (US or Canada as well as Austrailia, don't know about the other retailers in EU, etc), you'll receive a real life Chicken hat that the main character wears.
